Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Harbour Rocks is frequently praised for its exceptional location, putting guests within easy walking distance of Circular Quay, the Opera House, and many shops in The Rocks area. Many appreciate the convenience of walking to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, water taxis, and even the cruise terminal. While some guests have found the rooms small, others have enjoyed spacious accommodations, some even with Opera House views and access to a rooftop deck. The breakfast, especially the eggs benedict, is generally considered delicious.

the location was GREAT! It was convenient to many landmarks and transport options. The staff were always pleasant and cute. I appreciated the breakfast cafe right under my nose, it was so convenient.

my room was noisy throughout the day and night. room 214 may be next to some aircon engines or something that continuously made a whirring sound. carpets have terrible stains and the bathroom looks old. The online photos did not reflect what the room really looked like.

The operator allowed an early check-in. I took a nap after an overnight flight. I used the only day for sightseeing. The free left luggage service allowed me to enjoy the whole day after check out. Ferries from Circular Quay provide transport to several locations. Public transport has daily caps on usage prices.

My room did not match the online photos. The bathroom was worn. Some updates are needed.
